About Detecting Unidirectional Link Failure
•
It may result in loss of connectivity. For example, in
, Bridge A cannot transmit on the
port it elected as a root port. As a result of this situation, there is loss of connectivity (r1 and r2 are
designated, a1 is root and a2 is alternate. There is only a one way connectivity between A and R).
Figure 23-4
Loss of Connectivity
•
It may cause permanent bridging loops on shared segments. For example, in
that bridge R has the best priority, and that port b1 cannot receive any traffic from the shared
segment 1 and sends inferior designated information on segment 1. Both r1 and a1 can detect this
inconsistency. However, with the current dispute mechanism, only r1 will revert to discarding while
the root port a1 opens a permanent loop. However, this problem does not occur in Layer 2 switched
networks that are connected by point-to-point links.

Bridging Loops on Shared Segments
This example shows the spanning tree status when port Gi3/14 has been configured to disable PVST+
simulation and the port is currently in the peer type inconsistent state:
